English translation:statement of operations
Explanation:
One part of a US bankruptcy filing is the statement of operations, a term resembling l'Enoncé des affaires. However, the creditors' claims are listed in a schedule of claims. Maybe the source text is telling creditors their claims must be listed so that an accurate schedule of claims can in turn be reflected in the statement of operations.

neutral  Daryo: this being SWISS French, expect unexpected meanings for terms used. For a soon to be defunct company there wouldn't be much "operations" going on, most likely it's simply a list of creditors' claims. // your version might be right for US.

  -> In US, bankrupt or in administration is not necessarily defunct (cf. liquidated). But I take your point about SW vs FR.

disagree  Daryo: your ref makes no sense - the ST is about a soon to be defunct company, not a live one.

the Statement of Affairs


Explanation:

One or more of the directors will swear a Statement of Affairs of the company, which summarises the assets and liabilities (including details of creditors' claims) at a date not more than 14 days prior to the date of liquidation. Copies or a summary of the Statement of Affairs will be made available to creditors at the meeting. The insolvency practitioner whom the shareholders nominated as liquidator will assist the chairman of the meeting, who must be a director. A report of the company's history up to liquidation will be presented, giving an explanation of the reasons for the insolvency, and creditors will be invited to question the directors.

The creditors then vote to appoint a liquidator. The votes are based on the values of creditors' claims. To be entitled to vote, creditors (other than those present in a personal capacity) must have lodged a form of proxy by the time and at the place stated in the notice of the meeting. (You may send your proxy by fax).

Statements of claim may be lodged at any time before voting. Should the creditors' choice of liquidator be different from that of the shareholders, the creditors' choice prevails.

BTW, once more the most literal translation turned out to be the right one ...

disagree  GILOU: business

  -> ??? supposed to mean what exactly? You are not even capable of finding a half-credible excuse to play with the red button ...

disagree  Yvonne Gallagher: "the most literal translation turned out to be the right one"!! LOL. What does this even mean? Maybe if you included the word "business" or "company" it might have made more sense?

  -> Seems like the logic of business is foreign territory for you ... OTOH there is no special /hidden meaning in "the most literal translation ..." - which bit exactly is puzzling you???
